Turning 40 is not so bad

I'm 40!!  I remember thinking "40 is SO old."  HA!  But 40 isn't so bad, because:

--Getting old is now cool.  The rustic look is in.
--The tea kettle still whistles at me!
--My supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
--Senility is a good thing.  I'm always meeting new friends!
--I'm now somewhere between the Young and the Restless and the Old and the Senseless.
--My secrets are safe with my friends because they can't remember them either!
--I'm aged to perfection.
--Retirement is only 25 years away!

Leave me a funny about turning 40.  I'll pick my favorite and send the winner some vintage goodies, including a hankie, jewelry, lace trim, and whatever else I can come up with.
